Units of Arleon
Dear all,
This has been discussed under the previous 'Feedback' section on Discord; however, as there is this opportunity to put it up for discussion, I'd like to post it.
The current issue with the units of Arleon are two-fold (it is one suggestion with two parts):
- First, on which most of us agreed during the previous discussions, is that the Faey Nobles and Queens are somewhat lacking in terms of power in regard to the other 'champion' units, so they would need some balance.
- Second, the legitimacy of which was highly debated, is that there is a need for a redesign or re-shuffle of the units of Arleon, as some of the Faey are looking out of place in their respective tiers. Faey Spritis feel like Small Building units both in design and strength; in the same terms, Faey Nobles resemble Medium Building units, could probably fit together better with Horned Ones. Without this, of course, there is no 'champion' unit, so it could either be a paladin or a faey drake.

zdzichu09And Faey Nobles just looks too ordinary for last tier unit. Dragon or Legion looks way better. There is no WOW on Faey Nobles.

Andreas Peter Larsen"Faey Spritis feel like Small Building units both in design and strength" YES i strongly agree with this!
I feel like Fray Queens should be the second last unit for Arleon. A classic paladin or a Griffin knight or something would be alot more fitting for the faction.
Also the Castle is currently one of the only medium buildings to only produce one type of unit. Most other factions make 2 types of units with their medium buildings. -

KrzysztofWhat i would like to see for Arleon faction is satyr instead of bard so there are more faey units (currently only 3), remove militia, make faey spirits 1st tier and lower their damage + buff their HP (i know they meant to be the glasscanons but 10 hp is a joke, especially with 20 stack limit), faey queens should be moved one tier lower (still maintain their 5 unit size just like blessed bones) and add gryphon/hipogryhon as last unit for Arleon.

I agree wth you on the Satyr idea, it sounds actually quite plausible. However, I don't agree with how you described process , because in this way the human units will become a minority. Of course, separate human and faey faction would solve this, but I quite like the idea of this alliance, so I think the solution should support this.
If the satyr/upg.:pan is introduced then the most ideal restructure would be that the Faey Spirits get 'demoted' to neutral creatures, the Faey Noble/Queen moves to their Horned One brethren dwelling, and a Large Building unit of Faey origins would be introduced (either a Faey Drake or Gryphon). This way their will be balance with 4 human and 4 faey units with well-thought designs.
So the introduction of satyrs and the removal of militia is an 'either...or' question, as both together would not work. Faey Spirits could replace militia, but then minstrels should stay minstrels, and a paladin should be introduced as a LB unit. -

SpencerMilitia also feel a little weak compared to other T1 units. Not unbearably, but with their damage and health they still underperform all the other T1 units despite being ranged. The reload is just way too much of a damage and efficiency nerf.

vanHooijdonkFaey Nobles/Queens are good enough for me, regarding they are far shooters, not too expensive, large stack - that's there balance - you hire more, but they are weaker. And there ability to shoot random attacks is rather good (needs up still). Arleon is stronger in other tires - Shields are durable, guys with crossbows cheap and powerful, so Nobles/Queens are just balanced.

Faey Spritis are specific - having high attack and walk range, they are fragile, but provide lots of essence. They are cavalry in ambuscade. protected by the shielded troops. -

Moderator AdminWe are working on a big re-balancing patch, so balance and stats will change fairly soon. This will affect all factions though, not just Arleon.
